[edit] Band history

Jason McCash brought his low-end bass tone to the band in 2001. A handful of drummers have worked with the due, including Chuck Brown, Jamie Walters and Chris "The Fist" Gordon.

The Gates Of Slumber's second album, Suffer No Guilt (I Hate), is a mission statement for those who recognize the awesome might of the truth within heavy music. With artwork from famed painter Ken Kelly (Rainbow, Manowar, Kiss), the album has built a strong following in the underground as impressive as the four "K" review it received in Kerrang!.
